Vegetable of the Day: 365 Recipes for Every Day of the Year

Spectacular seasonal vegetable recipes for every day of the year that will leave you wondering why you don’t eat more of them.

Bursting with color, texture, and flavor, vegetables reflect the changing seasons better than any other type of food. Enjoy dishes like new potatoes with peas or grilled artichokes with lemon aioli in spring. Have some golden corn fritters or puffy corn soufflés, sautéed or grilled red and yellow sweet peppers, and tomatoes in summer. Savor winter squashes and mixed-vegetable braises in autumn. And winter is the time for Brussels sprouts with chestnuts, creamy scalloped potatoes, and braised fennel with saffron.

This attractive, practical volume is broken into twelve chapters, each with a colorful monthly calendar that provides an at-a-glance view of the dishes included. You’ll find recipes for every occasion, from a weekday family supper or a summer backyard barbecue to a celebratory dinner, and that fit every schedule, from quick sautés to slow braises. Each recipe is accompanied with a note that might describe seasonings or unusual ingredients or offer serving suggestions, ideas for variations and garnishes, or other helpful tips. Many of the recipes are illustrated with full-color photographs to guide you as you cook.

Packed with inspired recipes to help you get more of these nutrition superstars into your daily diet, this book will encourage you to try vegetables that you have always passed up because you didn’t know how to prepare them, and it will give you new ideas on how to cook old favorites. So, go ahead and open this year-long celebration of vegetables and start cooking.
